摘要：Purpose.The starting point of the present study is the idea that the high trauma incidence among the studied competitive sportsmen is caused by factors that can be controlled at least partially through primary prevention methods.Material and methods: The study was performed on a batch of 155 sportsmen who practised athletics,basketball,handball,football and volleyball.The sportsmen were between 13- 42 years old and had been practising sports for 4-20 years.The study covered three years of competitions: (August 2006 – July 2009).Purpose: To reduce the number of traumas in the studied sportsmen through the identification of risk factors and the introduction of prevention exercises and stretching techniques exercises in the training programme,both during warmup and in post-effort rehabilitation,in order to prevent injuries and increase performance This article deals only with data regarding knee injuries.Results.The statistical comparison of the results revealed that in the second period (August 2008 – July 2009),when the exercise programme was followed in a systematic,organised and dynamic manner both during warm-up and post-effort rehabilitation,the incidence of locomotor traumas affecting whole batch of sportsmen decreased significantly (with 25.18%) as compared with the first period.The number of knee traumas decreased significantly within the 23-26,13-18 and 19-22 age groups (p = 0.0011;α = 0.001).The number of knee traumas decreased significantly in the second period as compared to the first,in all years of practice groups,except for the > 20 group,which showed only minor differences.Two sportsmen were included in this longevity category.Conclusions High incidence of medium severity macrotraumas – 1st and 2nd degree sprains and muscular elongations,compared with severe macrotraumas – 3 rd degree sprains,which corresponds to the data in the sports-related literature. The utility,necessity and beneficial effects of the prevention exercises included in the training programme have been proved. The performance level and the number of training sessions influence the high number of traumas that occurred. The extrinsic factors have a stronger influence.
